Hi! I’m Rachel (she/her), a Speech-Language Pathologist with nearly 9 years of clinical experience working with autistic clients of all ages. I also have 32 years of experience as an autistic person.

I’ve been doing this work long enough that I know what true progress looks and feels like within the autistic population. Spoiler alert—it isn’t painstakingly slow and effortful the whole way through! With a combination of the right supports and some relief of major stressors, autistic people can blossom in ways thought unimaginable.

I am an outside-of-the-box thinker and am not afraid of questioning the status quo. Time is valuable, and I’ve seen just how far autistic people can come in their communication, social-emotional-pragmatic functioning, and feeding skills once autistic potential is taken seriously.
